TO QUALIFY:

As a Kansas resident for all of 2006, you are eligible for a refund of up to $600 if your total "household income" is $28,000 or less; and

  • You were born before January 1, 1951; or

  • You were totally and permanently disabled or blind for the entire year of 2006; or

  • You have a dependent child who lived with you the entire year and was born before January 1, 2006, and was under the age of 18 all of 2006.

"Household income" is generally all taxable and non-taxable income received by all members of the household.

 

How can I use my expected homestead refund to help pay up to the first half of my property tax?

Homeowners who received a homestead refund last year and do not have any outstanding balances with the Kansas Department of Revenue and who checked the Advancement Box on the 2005 return are eligible for an Advancement.  The advancement information was sent electronically to the County Treasurers Office and may appear on your 2006 property tax statement.  IMPORTANT: You must file a Homestead Refund Claim, for K-40H between January 1, 2007 and April 15, 2007.
